About

Viral Fact Check helps you tell fact from fiction — without any AI, sign-up, or API key.

Select any text, right-click a headline, or paste a claim, and the browser side panel looks it up across popular search engines and trusted fact-checking organizations, then gathers the evidence in one place so you can decide for yourself.

It does not claim to be the final word on truth. It does the legwork — gathering sources — and leaves the judgement to you.

WHAT IT DOES
• Fact-check selected text or any heading on a web page with a single right-click
• See live results pulled together from multiple public sources, right inside the side panel
• Open your claim in popular search engines and leading fact-checking sites with one click
• Reverse-search any image to help find where it appears online
• Everything runs in the browser side panel — no pop-ups, no extra windows

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
• Completely free — no account, no API key, no subscription
• No AI — just real sources you can open and read yourself
• Private — no analytics, no tracking, no data collection
• Works on any website with a right-click

WHO IT'S FOR
Students, journalists, researchers, and anyone who wants to stop misinformation before sharing it.

Don't be misled. Check the facts yourself.
